Hello again,
To fill you all in on why I did this guide...
I recently came out of a large scale project designed for up to 10,000
simultaneous users and up to 100,000 total users. The project used Struts
Spring JPA (with Hibernate & Oracle), and the other developers spent most of
their time struggling to use Struts. It was the architect from my company that
chose everything for the project (his usual choices) and he's slowly wanting to
replace Struts with Stripes. But he still needs convincing!
His main concerns don't concern the technical aspects of Stripes, as he's
already impressed. But it comes down to these reasons :
1. The client has heard of Struts and knows it 'works'.
2. Nobody (in France) knows Stripes (he does all the 'technical' interviews).
3. Why should he propose an unheard of framework?
4. Once the project is 'finished' and we're all gone, how will the client find
other developers with stripes skills?
5. Why should the client accept training his internal staff when they already
'know' Struts, and no one uses it or has heard of it.
Here's my responses 'for' Stripes (please help add more) :
1. There was a time when Struts was unheard of and everyone knows that Struts
1.x is old/tired and has major architectural issues. If a company is thinking
of switching to Struts 2, why not think about Stripes which Struts 2 copied
source code from, and still can't do some basic things as easy as Stripes can?
2. If someone 'knows' Struts, they'll be autonomous with Stripes in no time.
3. For all the reasons I've detailed in 1. 2. 4. & 5.
4. If someone 'knows' Struts, they'll understand Stripes without needing to
consult the documentation (although that would help ;o) ).
5. If someone 'knows' Struts, they'll understand Stripes. It's easier, more
powerful, with nearly zero configuration!
Any help appreciated,
Cheers, DJDaveMark
